The man told NJ.com that he has flown the flag outside his home during Ramadan and on Fridays for about 10 years. It has never been a problem, he said, until a photo of it was posted to Twitter on Tuesday.

“I understand now that people turn on CNN and see the flag associated with jihad, but that’s not the intention of that flag at all,” he told the website. The man explained that the writing on the flag reads, “There is only one god, Allah, and the prophet Muhammad is his messenger.”

“It’s not meant to be a symbol of hate. Islam is all about unity and peace. I am not a part of any group like that, and I’m not anti-American. I love my country, but I am a Muslim,” he said.

What’s wrong with flying the flag that ISIS uses? It’s only like an American flying the NAZI flag during WWII. In all seriousness though: in light of recent world events the decision to fly that flag was pretty unwise. That flag has been in the news for a while now, used by evil men who crucify, behead, and bury people alive under the guise of IS.
